Monolithic scalable compliant mechanisms. [PDF]
PLoS ONEScaling a physical device's geometry results in mechanical properties changing in various ways (e.g. the cubed-squared law states that for a scaling factor C, mass scales with C3 and surface area with C2).

Mobility of the compliant joints and compliant mechanisms [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, 2005 This paper deals with a mobility of the single compliant joints and entire compliant mechanisms. The compliance of the joints and the mobility of the compliant mechanism can be increased by variations of geometry as well as material type of the joints ...

Compliant shell mechanisms [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2012 Abstract This paper describes a class of lightweight structures known as compliant shell mechanisms. These are novel reconfigurable solutions for advanced structures, such as morphing shells and deployable membranes. They have local, discrete corrugations, which articulate and deform to achieve dramatic changes in the overall shape of
